Now that I read the chapter, it's not that bad, especially since the summary was completely inaccurate on the point that irked me the most.

Spoiler for 318:

Which was Deku submitting to the villain. He never did that, he was in the middle of thinking up a plan before Bakugo intervened. I still wish someone other than Bakugo had found him first, like the now sadly irrelevant Iida who actually went through a similar phase. I also wish Deku's dark knight phase had been longer too.

The panel with the 2nd user seems to imply he called Bakugo there somehow. That will no doubt revive the Bak-u-go theory.

Spoiler for 318:

Our favorite Blasty Boi is here to pull Deku's ass out of the fire and slap some sense into his self-sacrificing thick skull.

Unless it will be the manga's way to acknowledge the second movie.

[marvelB]

Huh, kinda surprised nobody else posted spoilers by now.... anyway, we're back from break, bay-bay:

Spoiler for 319:

In a flashback, Bakugou tells the rest of his classmates that Deku's most likely working with the top heroes. However, their attempts to contact them have failed so far. Jirou also points out that All Might hasn't returned to the academy either, so they also figure he's with Deku. Shouto tries to contact Endeavor again, but it's no good.

A few days later, Endeavor meets with principal Nezu, who's joined by all of class 1A. Shouto confronts his father on not keeping in contact, and asks why he hasn't kept a closer eye on Deku and AM. Bakugou answers instead, saying that the top hero used his own sound judgment, but he ultimately doesn't know Deku as well as the class does. The explosive one is all too aware of his rival's reckless nature, and has figured that he split from All Might by now. The rest of the class opens up about how much they care about Deku, After hearing them out, the principal notes how much the class has grown in the last year, and that he agreed to let Deku team up with the top heroes since he's AFO's prime target. However, the boy is welcome to return to the academy whenever he pleases. Endeavor is against that idea due to all the extra civilians staying there, but the principal reassures him that the school bolstered its security. He then tells the class to go bring their friend back....

Back to the present, the villain Dictator has been defeated, and the people under his control have been freed. We also see that it's not just Bakugou, but the entire class 1A who have arrived at the scene! Deku tries to push his friends away, but conversely, the class resolves to change his way of thinking....!!!!

Spoiler for Chapter 319:

We haven't seen Class 1-A for some time. So who knows what new things they've learned during that time. Deku even considering to fight them has been questionable, especially that One for All is still monitoring things. This may get ugly for Class 1A if their attempt gets manipulated.

[Galaxian]

Spoiler for :

Yeah! Kick his a$$ guys!

I'm actually really glad that the entire class was very involved instead of it just being the Bakugou show.

[Ligerleon89]

Spoiler for Chapter 319 in short:

Long story short. The upcoming bout on the next chapter will focus on Class 1-A trying to change Deku's mindset. But I don't think Deku will actively seek to harm his friends. I think he will engage only to find ways to avoid them. Plus I need to consider that his body must be at its limits despite his further mastery. Bakugo knows Deku, and the Class may have some plan to immobilize Deku. In the chapter, Deku could barely even get up in a normal pace. He's gonna drop soon at this point. Despite Bakugo being his usual self, he's still right in the terms that Deku's behavior is alike that of All Might. And All Might did not do much to reign in such behavior, becoming an enabler unfortunately to reckless behavior. I have also heard that Stain may yet appear again, possibly during the fight. I don't know about that, but it would make things interesting as to why he decided to intervene. And there's still a chance AfO's baddies may jump at the chance to snag Deku. I do know it is going to be hard to watch for me. But it's still obvious that this entire conflict is something that one hero can't alone. Deku has been at things non-stop, putting his life on the line, without much of a thought to his own well-being from where things look. He needs a different outlook on heroism, and he needs rest more importantly. He can't fight AfO with tattered gear, an exhausted body, and a mind that can't see that he's playing into AfO's hands.

As for UA, I don't know if more security is going to help knowing AfO is going to mess it up. It's still a big risk regardless. Even more so that civilians are currently there right now. Endeavor at least has some point of it that fits my earlier post about U.A. being too obvious for AfO to aim straight for Deku. Security doesn't mean a thing to this guy when he wants something badly.

[Kanon]

Spoiler for 319:

I know Deku is tired and doesn't want to hurt his friends, but I hope he'll put a good fight. Logically, the first thing he should do is put up a smoke screen, build up some momentum with Fajin, and then try to escape through the air. But of course Bakugou would be there to block him.

Bakugou's genuine worry for Deku was nice to see. I know this isn't the first time he expressed worry (the fight against Shigaraki), but he did it in front of the whole class this time and he wasn't in a life or death situation. Of course, he still calls Deku a shitty nerd, but one step at a time

[Ramero]

Spoiler for 319:

I think Bakugo will get more creative after seeing Deku can activate multiple quirks. Since he's the one that always adapt faster than anyone else, I'm sure he will come up with something to counter it.

Deku definitely need a time out from the fight for a while, and he have no choice but to defeat his classmate if he wants to carry on.

In this week's chapter:

Spoiler for 320:

Long story short, it's Deku vs. class 1A! Our troubled protagonist first attempts to escape them using Smokescreen, but the smoke gets blasted away by Bakugou! What follows are various other students displaying their skills while trying to reason with Deku. Eventually, his mask falls off, revealing his tear-stained face. Shouto encases him in a wall of ice, asking him if his burden leaves him unable to cry like a normal person..... and if so, he should share his responsibility with his friends. The chapter ends with Tsuyu telling Deku she won't let him run away again. She's tired of feeling helpless, and feels her friends should express their pain out loud. And if Deku's dream is to become a great hero like in the comics, then class A will help support that dream at his side....!!!!

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

BTW, NO CHAPTER NEXT WEEK! This is because the magazine itself will be on break, so ALL SJ manga will be absent next week. Just a heads up!

Spoiler for 320:

It's fitting that right as Deku's birthday comes around, we get a chapter of basically all of his friends telling him how important he is to them.

[SidVicious]

Last resort will be Eri saying she is scared of him.

[Galaxian]

Spoiler for 320:

We still have a couple of Class 1-A members that haven't chimed in. Above Bakugou and Uraraka, I'm more interested on what Ida is going to say and do. No only this this situation almost a reverse of the Stain arc, but without Danger Sense activating, I don't know how Deku could counter Ida's Recipro Turbo.

I can actually see Ida being the last one to try to convince Deku. He manages to overwhelm him with Recipro Turbo, but before the class can contain him, Stain shows up and helps Deku get away.

[Kanon]

"You're even drawn differently from the rest of us!"

lmao

Apparently Bakugo said the same thing about All Might once.

Yeah, I was not expecting that fourth wall break

[Ramero]

Now with Shueisha is on break this week, I'm looking forward to see how Ida will convince Deku next week. Well... He's the chief of the class or class rep, so... He need to convince Deku before Eri comes in.

[~Yami~]

I know that either Uraraka or Ida or Bakugo will be the last one to speak
but seeing Tsuyu spoke at the end of 320 pleased my heart.. my lovely frog didn't get any enough spotlights since Nomu's invasion to U.A. Academy

[marvelB]

Huh, color me surprised again that no spoiler comments were made yet. Well, I'll get the ball rolling, then:

Spoiler for 321:

The chapter begins with Endeavor arriving at the scene, who gets led to the villain dictator by some class A students. Meanwhile, Shouto and Tsuyu still try to talk some sense into Deku, but he's still too stubborn to listen to them and runs away. Mineta is the next one who tries to stop him, but he escapes grape-boy's grasp, as well! Next to step up is Ochako, who teams up with several other classmates to propel another of their friends to the air: Iida! He grabs Deku's hand, telling him he won't let go! The class rep then reminds him that it's a hero's duty to meddle into other's affairs....!!!!

Spoiler for Spoilers:

I am so glad they gave Iida a big moment like this. It's also really cool how many throwbacks Horikoshi managed to cram into a single set piece. We have the Stain arc, Kamino, and even the Sports Festival all being referenced.

In a related notes, it's funny seeing so many BKDK fans bending over backwards to make this chapter about them.
